ok so my teacher gave us an assigment in 8th grade....we where suppose to write a letter about our selves and turn the paper to the teacher. the teacher than locks it in a box, and we will get the letter back when we graduate.. the teacher promised us, no one will ever read the letter but u, the letter will never be opened by anyone else. so we can put anything in that letter, even curse words anything.. no ones gonna read it exept u after u graduate. so i was saving my money up ( i had 250 dollars).. i put it in the letter saying "HEY FUTURE ME, TAKE THIS MONEY!!!"... and i wrote other crap about myself etc. i put it in the envilope (spelling error i no), and turned it in... the teacher put all the letters in the box and put a lock on it. then gave the box to our principal. so, if i move away from that city, i can call the school and ask for my letter and they will send it to me. well, i am in 9th grade now... did i make a right decision to give my future self some $$$

That sounds fun, but you could have made some interest if you'd stuck that dough in a savings account, you know. ;)

Maybe I worded mine too strongly.

This is all I meant to say.

As so many others have said, you probably should have opened a savings acount and at least gained interest. Oh well, getting sudden money is nice.

Bank accounts are pretty easy to set up with your parents.

The interest you earn won't be a lot, but will be more than nothing.

But think it's cool that you at least have mentality of delayed gratification. That's a good thing to have.

The money will certainly mean more to you when you're older, I would think.

I guess you didn't really have enough to open a CD or anything, really, anyway.

Ehh Figi is right. I think it was a cool idea. Plus I bet all those people who said "You should've put it in a saving account" wouldn't have even have saved $250 at your age to begin with.

*High five*

for being different.

Because gum is a luxary(sp?)

Plus I'm sure he'd WAN'T to spend the money on something other than gum. When he's 18, if he goes out and buys $250 worth of gumballs then I will bow to you and take back every logical thing I've ever said.

No, you're risking your own money and instead should've put it in somewhere safer. Who knows, someone could've broke into the box and get all the letters or something.
